Jah Shaka - Michael Prophet (RIP) 'Gates of Zion' Ultimate Shaka Dubplate w/ mad sirens

Michael Prophet's Gates of Zion (AKA Free Up Ya Heart) is all about this dubplate - ...searched for everywhere on Youtube among the 500 'Shaka plays..' videos already posted - without any joy. Well, luckily for anyone reading this far, this clip does indeed contain the unavailable-anywhere-else-on-Youtube ultimate Shaka dubplate cut. The vocal cut here is also a smidgeon harder than the released version(s).
**** If you want to get straight to the nitty gritty.... just skip to 1:42 *****
During this recording Shaka runs through almost the full range of most classic siren effects, which in itself is worth the entrance fee, not to mention Gates of Zion, or whatever title you prefer to give it, has a special place in many a seasoned Shaka goers' hearts.

Thanks go to Senior Demus for safeguarding this recording over many years. NLH crew in full effect.
*Sirens on this tune weigh in at a hefty 9.2 on the Official Shaka Siren Metric, the highest score ever recorded on YouTube - almost breaking our measuring equipment*.

Note: You can find this dubplate crystal clear, also on this Station, keep it locked with the NLH 24/7 although we also recommend things like Joni Mitchell sometimes, maybe you might have some company one evening, our advice would be you don't *always* want to subject people to non-stop Dubs, this has been tried and largely failed in experiments conducted by various scientific Labs.

RIP Michael Prophet: great sadness now but you will be celebrated long, long into the future.
